The MKS Lex/Yacc are pretty good. Personally I like them for the
C++ output, but this is not multi-platform ... :-)


The MKS lex is very slow compared to flex, both in terms of parsing
and execution of the final lexer.
I'd recommend using flex and byacc, then you get tools which you
can modify as required.


TTFN Jerry.
